Advances in TecView® UT: Enhanced Automated Ultrasonic Testing for Complex Curvilinear Structures

Advanced automated Ultrasonic Testing in production environments requires a high degree of precision and repeatability and the ability to safely scan complex parts, all while optimizing computer or software control resources which include scanning time and acquired data size. TecScan’s TecView® UT software includes a Curvilinear Surface Scan tool that gives the user the ability […]

Composite Fan case inspection solution

Turbofan engines are normally equipped with a fan case that will contain the fan blades. These fan cases, metallic on older generation engines and composite on newer generation, are intended to enclose the fan and shield the passengers and aircraft in case of blade out accident. Because of safety and reliability requirements, these fan cases […]

Composite Fan Blade Inspection

Turbofans currently designed for the next generation of medium-haul airliners are constructed from composite materials with titanium shaped leading edges. Because of safety and reliability requirements, these composites blades must be inspected for any manufacturing anomalies/defects. Scan3D™ from TecScan, a non-destructive testing solution designed to inspect these composite fan blades using interactive software tools, 3D motion […]

Composite Bond Testing

C-Scan imaging have been widely used for the detection and sizing of indications in most conventional UT applications, providing more intuitive analysis schemes. However, similar imaging has not been used in NDT of composite structures in aerospace applications when using specialized bond testing equipment. Adhesive-bonded components are widely used in the aerospace industry, therefore requiring […]

Composite Skin Structure Inspection

Carbon/epoxy skin and aluminum honeycomb composites are used extensively in aviation and aerospace applications. Their application is attractive because of the reduced weight which enables better fuel economy and lowers operating costs. Reliable nondestructive testing solutions and systems are required to perform proper inspection of such composites which in turn would ensure the structure safety and quality […]

Aircraft Components Inspection

Nondestructive testing (NDT) of aircraft engine components involves scanning of complex and diverse geometries. Automated robotic systems with NDT technology represent appropriate combination to control the quality and test such complex aerospace components for anomalies and defects. TecScan has successfully designed and delivered an advanced automated Eddy Current Bearing Inspection Solution (BIS) for some aircraft […]
